An old Gentleman living in the vicinity of Brails itir(4d) a few days ago, was so bewitched with the fascinating e aeners and suasive tones of a lady belonging to a tribe of gipd :leis, that he really believed she had } the necromantic power, an ° the will to multiply 180 sovereigns belonging to him, to • ,0 00, We have not heard that the douceur was to propi tiate to the ~ sna re in good-will of the Sibyl, or whether she was thtie faith the proceeds of her mystic rites ; but it appears d of the old gentleman was so strong, that he truste b er. with the ISO sovereigns, and as many barley-corns,beggedd her direction, of six of his neighbours. This done, she an i tl e : n du Pe, as he supposed, deposited the money and the grain t i n jle secret hole or corner of the house, with the strict injunc tion b e - b; r ? na the gipsy not to look at it for 3 days, or the spellwou he would find ; but at the end of the three days, she assured him, he _euld find 1,0001 . At length the happy time came when wi ti 7s permitted to look upon the magic gold, and flushed R i e xpectation he pounced upon the parcel deposited by the 41,1 8 Y but, alas ! instead of gold he beheld nothing but lead. y o ` e 3 al lB o sovereigns, 20 shillings in silver, had vanished, irre the I Y gene; and it is feared the three days grace allowed Ar_ el lehantress, will carry her beyond the reach of the law.— urth Derbyshire Chronicle. fa, Six months since a fire took place at Merricott of tn, When great damage was done to a considerable quantity p ie N t - aluable property.

From e fact of the p rem i ses b e i ng on fire in several places, and no of ti e ever being use d i n t h e b u ildings, there remains no doubt Re fire being maliciously designed.— Worcester Herald. i n )11 Thurs - day morning last a man named Eves, liv. 1 Holborue-lane, Chatham, hung himself; but fortu ts;jathtee was cut down b e fore life was extinct.

Two lads, well known to the police, named William Ed. wards and Henry Hare, were charged on suspicion by Elizs Daniel, a laundress, residing at Pentonville, with stealing five silk hadkerchiefs from her cart. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that while the procession of the Trades'-unions was passing by the Belvedere, in Pentonville, yesterday, she ordered the boy who drove the cart to stop to let it pass, and on doing so a number of boys applied to be admitted to stand on the wheels. The prisoner Edwards being very officious was allowed to do so, and got directions to have an eye to the contents of the baskets, and prevent any person meddling with them, but the orders had been scarcely given, when be availed himself of the other prisoner's services, who also got up to assist in protect ing the articles in the baskets. After the complainant had sufficiently gratified her curiosity, she proceeded home, and on counting the clothes was surprised to find the handkerchiefs gone. The prisoners were remanded for a week. James Buchnzater, an errand boy to Mr. Bcranger, of Henrietta- street, Covent-garden, was ordered to be fully com mitted fur trial on a charge of embezzling the sum of 31., and other money, the property of his master. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was per suaded by another boy to commit the offence; but it having been ascertained that his conduct towards his last employer was not very creditable, his defence proved of no avail.

On Monday last, a Vestry Meeting was held in this parish, ostensibly for routine business, and the appointment of new churchwardens, but a somewhat novel subject came under dis cussion. The names of defaulters to the Church Rates of last year were returned, and the question was raised, what should be done with sundry goods, distrained in July last, from defaulters to the rate of 1836. Thes articles have been in the keeping of the constable, who stated, that on ap plying to the churchwardens, Mr. S. Scott and his colleague, for directions how to dispose of them, he had been referred to the magistrates, and on going to them, was sent back to the churchwardens. Mr. Archdeacon GLOVER, who is incumbent of the parish, was in the Chair. It may be remembered that last year, the amount of Messrs. Child? Church Rate was clandestinely sent to the Collector, and a rumour was industriously circulated that those gentlemen had themselves been parties to the act. In a letter, soon af terwards addressed to a public print, Mr. Archdeacon Glcver avowed, that the payment had been made with his privity, at d that the manner—(which could only aggravate the prevailing exasperation) was adopted for the sake of peace. The Rev. Gentleman did not, on this occasion, try what a natural mode of peace -making would effect ; nor set an example to hip churchgoing people that they should openly subscribe for, and pay the defaults of their dissenting neighbours—but he advised tint their goods, distrained on the sth of last July, should be sold by public auction, and his advice was adopted. The Church Rate excitement needs a new impetus, and the vene rable Archdeacon, with his lay-coadjutors of Bungay St. Mary. seem resolved to renew their efforts, and, as they have done several times before, to give the question a salutary fillip. It is pity so much zeal is cribbed within the limits of an Arch deacon's visitation, and that he was debarred from the shame of bringing to the struggle the help of episcopal influence. Miss Stephens, the great vocalist, has at last been united to the venerable Earl of Essex ; and Madame Vestris, to Mr. Charles Mathews, son of the eminent artist of that name. Carlisle Journal. There has been several extensive lettings of grass parks within the last fortnight, both in East, West, and Mid Lothian, and, so far as we are able to ascer'ain, higher prices than last year have been obtained. Those belonging to Sir. George Clerk, Bart., of Penicuik, were let on Friday week, and brought on the average, fully five per cent abovelast year's rents.—Scotsman. The following is an inscription on a tomb stone in Llangattock Crickhowel churchyard :—" To the memory of Thomas Davies, who died Dec. 4, 1804, in the 105th year of his age. This stone is erected by the survivor of a family, who, for four generations, he served faithfully, in the humble but useful occupation of bailiff, during the long period of 75 years. The father of the above-named, died at the age of 101 years; his mother died at the age of 94; their united ages amounting to 300 years." In the list of insolvents ordered to be discharged forthwith by the chief Commissioner last week, is the name of Leonard Albin. Since the last court, it was said, Albin had been horsewhipped by a Dr. Lane, from Liverpool, for un gentlemanly conduct. He sent for a magistrate, who fined the doctor '2l. and costs. The debtors hereupon subscribed, and gave the doctor a dinner, at which he was presented with a whip, silver mounted, and bearing the following inscription on the handle :—" Presented by a few friends as a token of re speet."—Kendal Mercury. 44 VIENNA AND THE AUSTRIANS," BY MRS . TROLLOPE.—This book will be read by a great number of people, and there are a good many anecdotes in it that will reward the reading of them. All those who desire to know all about Prince Metternich, cannot do better than consult Mrs. Trollope. The anecdotes of the young Duke cf Reichstadt are worth reading ; and the account of the expo sition of a criminal, in accordance with the laws of Austria, is curious. There is also an amusing anecdote of the Emperor Nicholas, in which his incognito journey from Toplitz to Vienna, is related by the Princess Metternich.—Tiszes. GARDENS.—Bone Manure is considered the best that can be laid upon land. Nearly every family who occupies a garden, would have sufficient bones from their own table, if carefully preserved the whole year, to manure a gar den, and that too in the very best possible manner. The bones should, of course be broken small. The effect of a small quantity of bone dust sown with peace, carrots, onions, &c. is quite surprising—the same may be said when small pieces arc put into the earth when potatoes arc planted. By this simple and economical system, we should dispense with the heavy load of manure in the wheelbarrow, and also with buying every spring, several shillings worth of manuro.—Nottingham Review. WONDER VERSUS R AlLwAy.—The Wonder Shrewsbury, and London coach seems determined not to he outdone by its flying adversary without a struggle : it left London on Monday morning at the same moment that the trains left Easton-square , and reached Birmingham just SO minutes before them.—Birmingham Advertiser. The wife of John Brown of Leeds, was, on Monday morning, brought to bed of three living children, who are all doing well. As the London and Southampton Railway will be open about the let of May next, it likely to cause a great number of more visitors to Epsom Races this season, as the Railway will be but a few miles from the race course.

SCENE IN A SCHOOL ROOM.—" What studies do you intend to pursue ?" said an erudite pedagogue one day, as Johnny Raw entered his school-room. " Why, I shall study le id, I 'spose, wouldn't ye?" " Yes, but you will not want to read all the time; are you acquainted with figures?" " It's a pity if I ar'nt, when I've ciphered clean through adoption." " Adoption ! what rule is that ?" said the master. " Why, it's the double rule of two ; you know that twice two is four ; and, according to adoption, twice four is two." You may take your seat, Sir," said the master. " And you may yourn, too," said the pupil, " for it's a poor rule that won't work both ways."—New York Paper. On Saturday morning, about half-past eight o'clock, Mary Hepburn, the wife of a bricklayer, residing at 4, Pelham place, left an infant, ten months old, in charge of a little girl aged five years ; and during her absence the child's clothes caught fire, which communicated to those of the infant. The neighbours, being alarmed by their screams, hastened to the apartment, and immediately extinguished the flames, but n ot before the children were both so dreadfully injured that their lives are despaired of. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND OTHERS. — Our agricultural readers must remember, that from and after the 6th of April all gigs on steel springs are liable to pay duty ; those on lancewood springs are exempted.

A steeple chace, between Webb and Tarragon , came off on Tuesday, at Paris, end was won by the fo The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours were present, and the company was brilliant and numerous, but not so much so as at the grand chace of the 29th ult. A little after three the horses started, followed by M. Sanson as umpire, while the d'Hedonville was stationed as judge at the winning post. Webb, ridden by Mr. Nl‘Kenzie Grieves, and Tarragon, by Count de Morny, went off at a good hunting pace, and took the first leap without either gaining any ground of the other. On coming, however, to the Bievere, Tarragon fal tered, and very nearly threw his rider. This gave Wilab an advantage, which he never afterwards lost ; for Tarragon bad almost come up with him again when he stumble.' ' second time ; and, although well saved by his rider, lost so much ground that he did not again recover it. Webb kept up his pace, and cleared the last fence in gallant style, while Tarragon refused the last ditch, and was turned round, but was ultimately spurred over it, amidst the cheers of the spec tators. The gallant riding of the Count de Aforny, and the steady skill of Mr. Mackenzie Grieves, excited the admiration of all who saw them. The workmen at Marlborough House, under the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, have razed the co irt yard wall in Pall-mall to the ground, and a new one is to bo built forthwith. The edifice will not be cleared of the work people for some months. PARISH OF LAMBETH.-ELEC 'ION OF CHURCHWARDENS.-(THIS DAY.) A vestrv-meeting was assembled this morning at the Boys' School-room, Lambeth-green, for the election of Church. w3rdens. A very strong interest appeared to be created on the subject, and between tire and six hundred parishioners at- tended: A contest took place in the election of Chairman, Mr. Shells being proposed by the Liberals, Mr. Weakley by the Tories. A poll having- been taken, the majority for Mr. Sheils was declared to be 70: the apparent. smallness of the majority, in a vestry the vast majority of whom were evidently Liberal, was owing to the plurality of voting, under Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act; several Tories giving as many as six votes. Mr. GaAny nominated the Liberal list of candidates—Messrs. Hunt, Sanders, and Barton. In doing so he said his object was to propose the election of gentlemen for the office of Church warden, who would not demand a Church:rate—( Cheers)— hich under the present circumstances of the parish was a most unjust proceedirg.—( Cheers.) lie also deemed it expedient that there should be three Churchwardens in this parish, who k% ere of the same liberal politics as the Board of Guardians, in order that the Poor-law funds of the parish might be justly administered. _ . Mr. M`LEon seconded the nomination. Mr. EVANS nominated, and Mr. DYE seconded the nomina tion of the Tory list of candidates—Messrs. J. Shepperd, Sangster, and C. Lovett. Mr. FALL addressed the meeting at some length in support of the Liberal Candidates. It was highly important that these gentlemen should be elected, for they would never propose a Church-rate, than which nothing in the present state of the parish could be more unjust.—( Cheers.) The old Church, in which the rector, Dr. D'Oyley preached, was the only one in the parish which was not partly, at least, supported by the pew-rents. The pew-rents of that Church, even at the low rate of 6s. a year per sitting, would produce 4201. per annum. This would only be at the rate—reckoning 162 services in the year—of one halfpenny a service for each person, a price lower than that at which punch-and-judy could be seen in the street.—(Laughter.) Yet Dr. D'Oyley could not even raise that small sum ; and though he had a kind of premium in his favour, from the absence of pew rents at his church, nobody would go to hear him.—( Laughter.) Mr. Fall went on to say that in point of fact no Church-rate had been 1 'gaily levied for the last three years in this parish.—( Cheers. ) For the last two or three years, he said, there had been no I public audit of the parish accounts; for the Poor-law Com missioners would not allow the printing of these accounts, on the score of expence, that expence amounting to the large sum of 5/. each half-year.—(Hear.) The Tory parish officers who had been in office last year, had managed to get rid of the very small sum of 64,287/., and, also, to involve the parish in a debt of 24,400/.—(Loud cries of " Shame 1") It was important that gentlemen should be elected for Church wardens who were members of the Board of Guardians, and of the same politics as the majority of those Guardians.— ( Cheers.) The show of hands being taken by the Chairman, was found to be decidedly in favour of the Liberal candidates. Great merriment was excited by the few solitary hands which were held up for the Tory candidates, on whose b.2half a poll was demanded. It was contended by the Tories, that this should be a poll of the parish at large. On the other hand, Mr. Grady and others objected, that in order to avoid all the evils and injustice of a general poll, with tie plurality of voting system, the poll should be taken in the vestry itself, which, they contended, was fully competent to decide the question. The CIIAIRMMAN put it to the vestry, whether the poll should be taken in the vestry, or in the parish generally. The vestry almost unanimously decided that the former should be the course of proceeding. A poll of the vestry was taken ; at the close of which the Chairman declared the numbers to be for—. LIBERALS. Mr. Saunders 403 Hunt ... 402 Barton 402 TORIES. Mr. Shepherd ... ll Sangster ll Lovett lO The result was hailed by loud and long continued cheering. M:. FALL then proposed a Liberal list of candidates for Overseers. He dwelt with very considerable force on the propriety of having the proceedings of the Board of Guardians thrown open to the public—( Cheers)—and the present Liberal Board of Guardians had decided that this should be the case in future.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. Fall then ad verted to the proceedings of the late Tory Board of Guardians. From the overwhelming majority which had appeared for the Liberal list of Churchwardens , it was manifest that a simi lar result would attend the election of Overseers and other officers, and that the proce edin g s were likely to occupy the whole day. --- NEW LINE OF STEAMERS BETWIXT LIVERPOOL AND GLASGOW. —ln reference to an advertisement in this paper, relative to a new line of steamers intended for the Liverpool station, and which, we notice, are to be built of iron, we understand that the leading advan tages • which these vessels will possess are greater strength, safety, and speed than can be obtained in vessels built of timber, by being divided into five sec tions, with partitions of iron as strong as the sides of the vessel. They will not only be safety vessels as re gards fire, but also as respects striking upon a rock, or getting into collision with another vessel ; inas much as, although one, or even two, of the sections were cut and filled with water, the remaining sections would maintain the vessel afloat. We understand, that the speed of these . vessels is guaranteed to surpass considerably that of any vessel at present entering the Clyde ; end so perfectly adapted will they be for the Liverpool trade, that they will arrive at or depart from the Broomie law at my stage of the tide, or even at low water ; and, from the circumstance cf their leaving this at a regular hour every afternoon, so as to arrive at Liverpool the following mornin , by business hours, the communication betwixt this and London, via the Birmingham Railway, will be brought within the compass of less than thirty hours. We are also informed, that these vessels will have second cabins, with sleeping berths, for the accommodation of a class of society who have not hitherto possessed the opportunity of enjoying that com fort on the station betwixt Glasgow and Liverpool.—Glasgow Argus.

On Saturday, at the Insolvent Debtor's Court, the Rev.

Mr. Woodroffe appeared as before on behalf of Mr. Gibson, the opposing creditor, and Mr. Cook for the insolvent, on whose behalf a witness of the name of Thomas Boyce was called, to prove that certain horses upon the insolvent's fa rm were his. He stated th at h e was t h e proprietor and driver of the'Tally-ho Birmingham coach. He had above 100 horses, and that he had known the insolvent twenty years ; and the horses were a loan. The insolvent was ultimately discharged, upon entering into a rule of Court not to throw any impediment in the way of the assignee taking the colts, and Mr. Boyce signed a con sent to the same effect.

LITERATURE• QUARTERLY REVIEW IVo. 123. illurroy, London, 1838. We are surprised that the editor of this Review has de voted so large a space in the present Number to the myriad times discussed question of the Ballot. That he should have agitated it when it was fully before the public, with a view to counteract the effect of the arguments of :ts advocates, is natural enough ; but that he should have stirred it, when it was for the time in abeyance—as it is just now—and when his own innate good sense must have taught him, whatever his political prejudices may have suggested, that the justice of the case was against him—this is what we cannot at all re concile with our ideas of his tact and discretion. The article, as might be expected, is mere sophistry throughout, and can have no other effect than to confirm those who are already inclining favourably towards the Ballot—the more es pecially as it over-does the matter, and attributes, in a most ludicrous spirit of exaggeration, all sorts of horrors to any innovation on the present established mode of elec tion. The paper on " Animal Magnetism"—an absurd quackery which we thought had been laughed out of fashion as long ago as Mrs. Inchbald's popular farce of that name— evinces wholesome scepticism on the subject ; but should have laid on the lash of ridicule with far more severity. This peculiar branch of medical science, as we believe it is called, which appears to proceed on the assumption that the intellect is most awake when it is fastest asleep, and that man can be so magnetised as to dispense with the use of eyes and ears, and see and hear instead with the stomach and the small of the back, reminds of that other recent discovery " Homowopathy" by which one disease is proposed to be cured by the infliction of another infinitely worse ; so that if a man is labouring under a slight attack of fever, he has the comfort of reflecting that he can be cured, by allowing himself to be physicked and disciplined into an ag gravated scarlatina. 'We question whether even Dr. Graham's earth-bath, or his more extraordinary " magic bed," which so bewildered our grandfathers and grand mothers some sixty years ago, were more absurd than this modern cant of animal magnetism, which the Quarterly Review proceeds as gravely to demolish, as though it had one single particle of argument or common sense to support it ! " Travels in Arabia" is a very readable paper, con taining numerous brief and well selected extracts. In the article entitled " The Texas" we find a long and ela borate account of the origin and progress of this pro jected " usurpation," as Dr. Channing frankly calls the recent insidious attempts made by the United States to annex the Texas to their territory. The Re viewer closes his observations by some vague and doleful speculations about the probability of pure de mocracy turning out, sooner or later, an arrant failure in the New World. " The Banditti of Spain"—as its very title implies—is full of entertaining matter, interspersed with brief biographical sketches of some of the most noto rious Spanish brigands. " Robbery," w•e are told, "is of such antiquity and importance in that country, that al though the Spaniards are little given, like the French, to classification, the different grades are as clearly separated and defined as in a matter of science or of heraldry." This speaks encouragingly for the moral character of a nation whom the Liberal Powers of Europe think worthy of the blessings of free institutions ! " Scenes and Shadows of Days Departed" is a generous and discriminating criticism on the poetical works of that veteran, Lisle Bowles, whose " Missionary" is stated by the reviewer to be the most sterling of all his poems. Mr. Bowles is an elegant and melodious versifier, who ever turns an attentive ear to " the still, sail music of humanity," but he possesses little or nothing of that melts divinior—without which there can be no lasting poetry which we see constantly 'stirring in the pages of Byron and Wordsworth. " Plato, Bacon, and Bentham" makes sad havoc with some of the moral theories of Jeremy and his disciple and executor, Dr. Bowring. From its cutting tranchant style we should be inclined to attribute this article to the pen of the ex- Secretary of the Admiralty. " Secret History of the Court of England, from the Accession of George the Third to the Death of George the Fourth," is a very judicious and reasonable exposure of an arrant catchpenny publication. We quote a portion of the Reviewer's stric tures on this work, in order to set our readers on their guard : " We notice another infamous publication, but for a somewhat dif ferent object, and with very diff.rent feelings from those which guided our observations on the " Diary of the Times o f George IV." In that work a lady of rank endeavoured to transfer the disgraceful responsi. bility of the authorship to some anonymous shadarv. In this, an anony. mous stands rer ostentatiously imputes his wretched libe's to a lady of rank, who has in truth no more to do with them than Queen Elizabeth. The former work—however individually discreditable the publication was—had yet some foundation in truth, and was at least original. This 1 is nothing but an amplified reprint of libels, equally atrocious and ab surd, which have long been in clandestine circulation, and for one of which the original publisher was many years since tried and convicted, but evaded punishment by forfeiting his bail, and flying the country. It was very right and very public-spirited in an individual against whom a degrading charge, however notoriously false and absurd, was distinctly and nominally made, to bring the libeller to justice; but, in truth, we do not believe that that publication—any more than the enlarged ver sion now before us—was instigated so much by individual malice as by a reckless and shameless desire of gain acting upon lon, brutal, and ma. lignant natures. The former publication, which is about the size usu. ally sold for seven or eight shillings, was circulated, under the cloak, at the modest price of 1/. I s , and the extravagance of the SUM was a decoy to make the credulous suppose that there must be something very piquant in so dear a volume. The present work is—on the same prin. ciple—retailed by a woman, who in the dusk comes to the door and offers " Lady Anne Hamilton's Journal" at the same moderate price of one guinea per volume. The publication of the unhappy "Diary" of one Lady-in-Waiting makes people suppose it possible that another may have written is similar book, and a curiosity to compare two such works has procured it some—though we believe but a few—purchasers, and it is to put an end (as far as our influence may reach) to this traffic between knavery and credulity, that we condescend to write this article." ALICE; OR, TAE MYSTERIES. 3 Vols. Saunders and Otley, London, 1838. Mr. Bulwer, in his preface, hints pretty significantly that this is the best work of fiction he has yet written. We cannot coincide with him in this opinion, for we have al ways considered " Paul Clifford"—notwithstanding its many faults—as his master-piece, exhibiting, as it does, more invention, humour, and fancy, than any other novel of the day. But though we do not estimate " Alice" so highly as its author, still we prefer it to its immediate pre decessor, " Ernest Maltravers," for. this plain reason, that that there is a sounder and healthier moral tone prevalent throughout it, and more vi,ible distinctness of purpose. " Maltravers" is here a man to be admired and respected, not as we last saw him, to be laughed at as a " sublime cox comb." Enough of romance is still left in his character, but it is no longer sickly and lackadaisical, and tainted with sentimental puppyism; but is of a generous, manly caste, such as elevates and invigorates the intellect, fitting it for high exploits. His character is forcibly contrasted with that of Lord Vargrave, with whom he is thrown into frequent collision, and who is represented as a reckless, scheming, but highly gifted, political adventurer. This portrait is as good, in its way, as the author's lawyer Brandon ; and we recognize its truth in every lineament. Vargrave's sudden end is related in a truly impressive and dramatic spirit ; but decidedly the most effective portions of the tale are those which have reference to Evelyn Cameron, who is one of those exquisite female creations in which Mr. Bulwer is so successful. The work throughout is written with great fluency and animation, and is in a great degree free from those elaborate, set descriptions in which young novelists are so prone to iadulge. MEMORIALS OF CAMBRIDGE. PART VI. Tilt, London, 1838. The present part of this useful topographical work, which bids fair to rival, in the style in which it is got up, Dr. Ingram's " Memorials of Oxford," contains two en gravings of Christ's College, each of which is accompanied by illustrative lettcr-press. INTELLECTUAL SCIIOOL-B 0 OK. London, Dal ton, 183 S. " The object of this book," says the compiler, Mr. Martin, in a neatly written preface, " is the developement of the religious sentiments, and the intellectual faculties, in a regular and systematic manner ; and the lessons introdu ced are, therefore, such as exhibit the first and great prin ciples of morality on the one band, and the leading incon trovertible facts of science on the other." It is doing no. more than justice to Mr. Martin to say, that in the present little volume he has accomplished his design in a very skil ful and satisfactory manner. On Thursday a Court of Compensation was held in Guildhall, Westminster, to assess the sum to be paid by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to Messrs. Pope, coal-merchants, for their premises, Abbey-wharf, taken for the new houses of Parliament. The value had been assessed by arbitrators at 4,3431., which arbitration had been set aside by the Vice-Chancellor. The jury awarded the sum of 6,7501. WINDSOR.--MONDAY.
